i'm pretty sure shimano hubs are silent.

They are silentish, can often hear a slight ticking with some.

well just set up wheel and its not pro 2 but i wouldnt call it silentish.
is it likely to cause any problems or will i be ok?

The newer Shimano hubs have more engagement points, so it will make more noise than older ones. Dont worry!

kk chears n love the look of new wheel

the new xt775 hubs have 36 engagement points, mine ticks but not terribly loud though. wonder how much a xt775 freehub replacement will be when that throw away part dies in the future?

£26 which isnt too bad considering my last deore 1 lasted 2 and a half years

does'nt look like crc has the xt775 freehubs in stock yet to me? hopefully a few more points of engagement won't mean more ££
